Chapter 5244

Kai and Hu Mazi followed the crowd into Sword Saint City. The scene inside the city was even more shocking than outside the city.

The wide streets were paved with dark blue rocks, with rows of buildings on both sides, most of which had sword-related signs hanging on them, such as “Sword Quenching Workshop” and “Sword Sutra Pavilion”.

Among the pedestrians, nine out of ten have swords on their waists or backs. Even if they are wearing ordinary clothes, they exude a sharp and fierce aura.

“Wow, this place is really fun. I feel tight all over just walking on the road.”

Hu Mazi shrank his neck and subconsciously touched the talisman bag on his waist. Compared with the sword practitioners around him, his outfit seemed a little out of place.

Kai looked around and said in a deep voice, “First find a place to stay, and then slowly find out the news.”

The two walked on the street for about an incense stick’s time and finally chose an inn called “Yingkelou”.

This inn is quite large, with models of two crossed giant swords hanging at the door, exuding a heroic spirit.

As soon as we entered the inn, a waiter came up to us warmly and said, “Please come in, gentlemen. Do you want to stay overnight or have a meal?”

“We need two upper rooms for the hotel,” Kai said.

“Okay!” The waiter quickly registered the information and led the two people upstairs.

The room is clean and tidy, and the window faces the street, so you can clearly see the scenery outside.

After settling down, Hu Mazi sat down on a chair and took a big sip of tea: “Kai, there are so many sword cultivators in Sword Saint City, do you think there are people from the Evil Dao Palace?”

“It’s hard to say.” Kai walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd on the street. “The Evil Dao Temple acts in secret. Since this is a holy land for sword cultivators, even if they have branch temples, they may not do it in a big way. We have to act carefully and find a local to ask about the situation first.”

At this moment, Kai frowned slightly. He felt a faint presence following them secretly, which had never stopped since they entered the city.

“What’s wrong?” Hu Mazi noticed that something was wrong with Kai and asked.

“We’re being followed.” Kai whispered, “They’re following us from the city gate.”

Hu Mazi suddenly became nervous: “Is it the man in brocade clothes, Zhao Tianyi? Or is it someone from the Evil Dao Palace?”

“Neither.” Kai shook his head. “It’s a female cultivator. The aura is very familiar. It should be the woman in white at the city gate.”

Hu Mazi was stunned for a moment: “Why is she following us? Is it because you just ruined her sword competition?”

“It’s possible.”

Kai’s eyes flickered. “Her sword intent is very pure and her strength is not weak. Let’s not alert her first and see what she wants to do.”

The two stayed in the room for about half an hour, and Kai stood up and said, “Let’s go out and look for a place to get information.”

Hu Mazi nodded and followed Kai out of the inn.

As soon as they turned a corner, a figure in white suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

It was the female cultivator who was competing with the male cultivator in sword skills on the city gate. At this moment, the previous ethereal look on her face was gone, and instead there was a scrutinizing look, staring at Kai closely.

“Who are you? Why are you interfering with my sword competition with Qin Feng from the Divine Sword Villa?”

The female cultivator went straight to the point, her voice cold and with a hint of questioning.

Kai looked at the female cultivator in front of him. She was tall, with a beautiful face, dressed in spotless white, and the long sword in her hand emitted a faint cold light.

“I was just passing by, it was unintentional.” Kai said calmly.

“Unintentional?”

The female cultivator obviously didn’t believe it. “Although your sword intent is obscure, I can feel that it contains a very special charm. It is definitely not accidental. Who are you? Why do you have such a pure sword intent?”

“My name is Kai. As for the sword spirit, I am just practicing blindly.”

Kai responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The female cultivator looked Kai up and down. Seeing that he was only at the level of a scattered immortal, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: “Can a scattered immortal have such sword intent? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”

Before she finished her words, the female cultivator suddenly moved. The long sword in her hand turned into a white rainbow, and with a sharp sword energy, she stabbed towards Kai!
